Q: What’s the difference between a nanny and a babysitter?

Nannies and babysitters share the same primary responsibility of providing safe and enriching care for your child, but there are a few differences between them. Nannies are more commonly associated with regular work, whether full or part-time, offering daily or consistent care to a particular family. There are also several different types of nannies, including au pairs, house managers, doulas, live-in, and overnight nannies. Babysitters, on the other hand, are typically hired for irregular or occasional work, either full or part-time. If you’re looking for last-minute care for date night, or the occasional few hours after school, a babysitter is a great best option. Identifying the type and frequency of child care you’ll need is the best way to decide whether a babysitter or nanny is a better fit for your family.

Q: How do nannies interact with my child?

Nannies on Sittercity love providing enriching experiences for your children, and sharing their passions with them. They're happy to participate in outdoor activities like sports, or indoor activities like music, baking, tutoring help, and art. Wherever your child's interests lie, nannies on Sittercity can engage them in a nurturing way.

My husband and I had not been away for 8 years, as I was so worried about leaving my horses with anyone. One of them has a tendency to colic on occasion and also has a very difficult personality, in addition to being a senior. We really needed to get away, and I was lucky to find Rose. I was as comfortable as I could have possibly been leaving them, and because of her, I was able to enjoy my vacation. I knew that if anything happened, she would be able to handle it. She texted me frequent updates and she did a great job. It rained like crazy, and she kept everything clean and in order. I had asked her to keep the run in shed and paddock mucked, which is no small task in the mud. When I got home, I found no trace of manure at all. It was cleaner than even I would have kept it, as was my house! The only evidence that she had even been there was her bath towel neatly hung up to dry, and my horses' evening beet pulp left to soak and ready to feed. She had even emptied the kitchen and bathroom trash before leaving. Since she cared for my horses, Rose and I have kept in touch and become quite friendly, and I have learned just how much she genuinely cares about animals. I will definitely use her again.

Hi! My name is Victoria. I semi-recently graduated from Stevenson University May of 2022, studying Criminal Justice with a focus in Psychology. Since graduating, i was hired as Behavioral Health Technician working with behaviorally challenged children as well as special needs children. While I love my job and the amazing work experience it offers, I would also like to step back into child care part time, and full time when the time is right. I have all current background checks for the state of MD, PA, and Federal as well as many certifications such as first aid, CPR, ABA, and so forth. I am kind, easy going, communicative, and enjoy working with kids of all ages. I personally prefer pre-scheduled & in person interviews when meeting the family!

Hi I'm Rachel! I have 6 years experience working with children 0-8 years old. My previous experience includes 2 years of preschool, a year of swim lessons and counseling, and am currently working on over 2 years of nannying. As well as babysitting for family members. Unfortunately the little girl I nanny is going to pre school Aug of 2025. So I am looking for a new loving family to give my love to! The family I work for has graciously let not only me, but my little boy into their welcoming home. The activities the kids and I love to do include, the park, animal shelters, walks, the library and more. When we are inside we enjoy crafts and books as well as, learning activities catered to their age and learning abilities. I am CPR and First aid certified and have hours completed for child nutrition. I will also be able to provide references from my current job and previous daycare position. Feel free to message me for more information!
